Code Page Definition File
The Code Page Definition File maps the IBM AFP code page name to its code page global
identifier (
CPGID) and to a Web browser character set.The section header CODEPG is followed by a list of AFP code pages and their attributes. The first attribute
in each line is the AFP code page global identifier that maps to a Code Page Map File
(see Code Page Map File for more information about mapping code pages). The second attribute is the Web browser
character set that you decide is the best match for your AFP code page. The last line
gives the default attribute values to be used when a default is required. The next
figure shows an example of the contents of the cpdef.fnt file.
Example of cpdef.fnt
[CODEPG] ;codepage = cpgid,wincp T1DCDCFS=1003,ANSI T1DEBASE=2058,ANSI T1D0BASE=2063,ANSI T1D0GP12=2085,ANSI T1GI0395=2079,ANSI T1GPI363=2066,SYMBOL T1V10037=37,ANSI T1V10273=273,ANSI T1000290=290,ANSI T1000310=310,ANSI T1000423=423,ANSI T1000905=905,ANSI DEFAULT=361,ANSI
The next table describes the attributes and values for CODEPG.
CODEPG section
| Attribute | Values | Shipped Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| cpgid | Pre-defined CPGID or your own defined CPGID in the range 65280 to 65534 | 361 | Code page global identifier |
| wincp | ANSI or SYMBOL | ANSI | Windows character set |
Rules:
- Attributes must be separated by a comma.
- Only the first attribute, cpgid, is required.
- You can set a default code page. The default code page that is set in the file must be the last entry in the file.
- If you create your own code page, you must assign it a unique code page identifier. Leading zeros are not valid. (You can use an IBM code page global identifier, but only if the character-to-hexadecimal code mapping is the same for your code page.)
